Intro:
Distilled by Edradour and bottled by The Ultimate Whiskey Company, this 9yr 2009 vintage scotch whiskey was dumped from sherry cask #391 and bottled at cask strength without coloring or filtering. A particular popular cask in some circles, it's known for its bonkers sherry influence. Let's dig in.
-
Nose:
Sweet and bright. More fruit than dessert forward - it’s like the punch bowl. Strawberry, kiwi, cherry, blueberry. Light oak, faint honey. Stewed fruits all day.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. Some heat, but not much. Toffee, brown butter, cherry and blackberry, some currant and fig. Faint pepper balances nicely.
-
Finish:
Long finish. Light sulfur, toffee, syrupy and rich. Raisin bread, cherry and raspberry.
-
Overall:
Nice progression from tangy fruits to a darker profile with more oak, syrup, spice. Lovely.
